Birthed on west coast underground house dub plates, breakbeat, and 4-table warehouse sessions in the Portland scene, he is at home behind tables or CDJs and is the master of -- if not in love with -- long dubby layers you can ride with and a good squelch to tickle your ear. He weaves electro, house, vocal, commercial, big room, tribal, progressive -- with nods to breaks and acid as tootled by his west coast mentors.
30 years DJing experience include various club and party events around the US and Europe, a recent 2-year Saturday peak residency at the famous XXL, London, the only American to hold a slot at the legendary party night, and more. Before venturing to London he captained a top 4-year bear monthly filling the main commercial gay club, The Cuff -- while his other Saturdays going crazy, naughty, and sexy with rocktronica and progressive at the legendary Eagle. Living in San Francisco he held a popular club night at the Cherry, MAUL, and lurked at the Powerhouse setting the rotaries to 11. He got his start illegally throwing a rave inside someone else's party in a campground on a mountain.
Martin resides in Lisbon and accepting local and international bookings for clubs, events, & festivals.
